Walking comes naturally to humans, but running requires more! The Funqtio Running Academy is happy to facilitate this. Have you never done sports before? Always wanted to get fit? Or do you, as a fair-weather runner, want approach it more professionally? Why not join the Funqtio Running Academy? They will provide you with all the essential information about nutrition, the prevention of injuries, suitable training and running technique. You will also get to know your fellow students. There is nothing better than being active with people your age and to strive for the same objective: the Weir Venloop! We have successfully prepared more than 3500 participants for the last 15 editions of the Weir Venloop.
The de Weir Venloop organises the Funqtio Running Academy for the 16th time in a row. There are various training groups for all levels and all ages, for the half marathon as well as for the 10 km, and even for the 5 km. Much attention is spent on injury prevention, nutrition and of course a responsible build-up schedule with regards to training.
Group training is held four times a week. Track training will be on Monday at 6 p.m., Wednesday at 9.15 a.m. and Wednesday at 8 p.m. An endurance run will be held on Saturday at 9.30 a.m. During registration the participant will be asked which weekday training they prefer. In practice the participant is free to decide themselves which training they attend. It is therefore possible to follow a track training on both Monday and Wednesday and to do an endurance run on Saturday.
The Funqtio Running Academy training will start from earyl September. We have once again selected Sportpark Vrijenbroek to be the training location this year. This location offers a wide range of pleasant training routes in the area, changing rooms and catering facilities of the partners affiliated with the Sportpark.
